If one blindly pursued individual eternity while ignoring the workings of heaven, earth, and all things, it would ultimately remain a minor path, a dead end.
The true Dao was to harmonize with heaven and earth, to coexist with all things.

Her cultivation, too, unknowingly began to advance once more after many years.
More than fourteen thousand eight hundred years into the Devouring Heaven Calendar,
the Female Emperor arrived in the Solar System.
She stood amid the stars, gazing at that blue planet in silence for a long time.
This was where her brother had died.
Ten thousand years ago, she had come here before.

This Corpse-Nurturing Ground.
Now, after ten thousand years, she had returned.
This planet had changed greatly from how she remembered it.
When she had come ten thousand years ago, the planet had still been a savage wilderness. Primeval forests blanketed the land, and gigantic beasts roamed freely.
She remembered that the Human Race of that time still wore animal skins, lived in caves, and survived through hunting and gathering.

They had begun to form tribes and possessed rudimentary social structures.
Along some riverbanks, the first signs of early agricultural civilization had even appeared.
